As the primary Counseling and Psychological Services liaison for your department, I would like to share recent updates regarding our services. We have updated our policies regarding Emotional Support Animals and Medical Withdrawal Support Letters, are now offering counseling services in our satellite clinic on the UH Sugar Land campus (Tuesday – Thursdays from 2pm -5pm), and have added a new Food for Thought workshop on Coping with Racial Trauma. Please see the links below and share this message with your faculty/staff.  We look forward to partnering with your office to assist our students.

As a reminder, your department’s CAPS liaison is Dr. Laura Frame, Ph.D. Your liaison can be reached at 713-743-5454 or via email.  We invite you to contact your liaison to consult if you have concerns about a student’s behavior, or if you need guidance regarding how to refer a student to CAPS.
If a student is experiencing a crisis situation and needs to speak with someone immediately, please have them contact CAPS at 713.743.5454 and they will be connected to the consultant on duty. If it is after business hours and they are in imminent crisis, please call 911 or CAPS at 713.743.5454 and they will be connected to the after-hours counselor.
For your reference, the CAPS website has useful information for faculty/staff, and is frequently updated. Please see below for some quick links.
